Move - Week 3
Restorative Strength
•
51m
Let's keep up the momentum! We're making little tweaks to our warm up with the goal of increasing our abillity to load into the positions we have been working on. In our main work blocks we will play with the pace of our movements, trying to move at a slightly faster pace without losing the connection to our reference points (the parts in our body that allow us to move efficiently). Instead of going for reps we will organise our sets around timed duration, with the focus on keeping it moving continuously. Finally we finish class with our timed plank hold again, this time increasing the time by a little.
Equipment:
-A rolled up towel
-Something to slide on: towel on hardwood floor, or paper plate on carpet
-Some wall space
-2 yoga blocks
-A large book (large enough to fit both feet)
-Optional but highly recommended: supportive shoes
